Solstice Senior Living at Columbia

So I should probably start this review by saying I lived in Southwest Florida for 28 years... as you can imagine Southwest Florida is filled with nursing homes! Of those 28 years about 15 of them I spent as a CNA working in various nursing homes, assisted living facilities, I need hospital care, Private Duty Care, even hospice care.Solstice is not qualify as an assisted living because you have to be fully functioning and be able to be on your own... however of all the facilities I have ever worked in or with this is by far one of the nicest.They have a variety of food to choose from. The facility is beautiful. Apartments range in a wide variety of sizes and layouts which I love because most places are very cookie cutter and there's only one or two options.My grandmother has lived here for about five years now and loves the place. Her doctor and dentist are on the same street which makes everything very convenient. They do have a transport bus that takes residence to places like the drug store, grocery store, which is not abnormal for any facility but should be mentioned.They are currently redoing the carpet, baseboards, tables, and chairs in the dining room and throughout the main level ( which were not bad but I think it had been a while and just time for an update).Staff if GREAT. They did a cute get together and fireworks for 4th of July

I had the worst experience with management working at Solstice. As an employee for a matter of days, I had experienced a member of they're management team being very disrespectful, unprofessional and rude. I couldn't believe that they've had this verbally abusive person still employed because surely this was not his first time behaving in that manner. To be allowed to publicly treat a new employee this way is unacceptable but I can speak out and up for myself but other's like your Senior love ones who reside in the community can not. I would not trust a person of this character working for my company or allowed to have constant access to my elderly family members.
